"Su Xuan, do you need to go to the hospital to get that checked out?" Wang Xuehan suddenly noticed something unusual about Su Xuan's eyes as well.
His eyes were filled with blood vessels, and even his pupils were laced with them. His sclera was no longer visible, making him look quite frightening.
"It's nothing. I probably just overused them last night," Su Xuan said evasively before starting to eat. When he looked for the young spectral image again, it was gone.
He still had no idea what was going on. Could it really be some kind of "historical image" lingering in this mansion?
After finishing his meal, Su Xuan left the house with his bloodshot eyes and drove off to attend to business.
"Follow him!"
"If the killer is his enemy, they're bound to show up around him!"
The moment Su Xuan drove off, Zhao Wei, Zhao Ling, and Du Zilong quietly hailed a taxi and began to tail him. Having accepted Du Zilong's commission, the duo was fully committed to the task.
Huh?
Su Xuan had only been driving for a few minutes when he realized that Du Zilong's crew was following him, which he found wryly amusing. He couldn't be bothered with them, so he accepted a Didi request and picked up two passengers.
"Please fasten your seatbelts," Su Xuan said.
The two passengers were young men. One of them had dyed red hair and looked pretty cool.
"Driver, how much do you earn in a day?" the red-haired man asked, striking up a conversation a few minutes into the drive.
"It depends on my mood. The more I drive, the more I earn. The less I drive, the less I make," he said casually.
"So what's your average?"
"That's hard to say," Su Xuan said, glancing back at him. "Why? Are you thinking of driving for Didi?"
"No." The red-haired man shook his head.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He noticed that Su Xuan's eyes were so red they looked as if they were about to drip blood.
"Driver, do you have pink eye?" he asked quickly.
"No, no," Su Xuan said. "It's just eye strain. It'll clear up in a couple of days."
"That's a relief," the red-haired man said, sighing. "I heard pink eye is contagious. If you really had it, we'd get out of the car right now."
"Yeah, we wouldn't even have to rob you," the other man added suddenly.
"Huh?" Su Xuan let out a dry chuckle. "You were planning to rob me?"
"That's right, rob you!"
The red-haired man suddenly pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Su Xuan's side. "Wallet, phone, bank cards, and PINs… hand them all over!" he threatened.
"Are you sure you really want to rob me?" Su Xuan glared, his bloodshot eyes looking terrifying.
"Cut the crap! Do we look like we're here to buy you a drink?" The other man also pressed a dagger against Su Xuan. "We're drowning in online debt and have nowhere to turn. It's a jianghu emergency!"
"A jianghu emergency…" Su Xuan repeated the words to himself, shaking his head with a bitter smile. He couldn't remember when it had started, but lately, he'd been hearing the word 'jianghu' more and more. Maybe it began with Cen Haonan. That guy always claimed he'd left the jianghu, but his eyes still held a world of their own, one that would shine brightly whenever he spoke. As for himself, ever since he got the system and acquired Lycar, he'd also stepped halfway into the jianghu, not to mention recent events. Where there are people, there is a jianghu. Where there is a jianghu, there are grudges and animosities. The dialogue from the movies certainly didn't lie.
CLICK!
Glancing in the rearview mirror, Su Xuan nonchalantly pulled over to the side of the road and hit the unlock button.
"Thinking of running away?" Seeing this, the two men in the back quickly prodded Su Xuan with their daggers. "Make one wrong move, and you'll end up with two more holes in your body. We just want your money, not your life!"
"Mind if I show off a bit?" Su Xuan couldn't contain his laughter. "To be honest, I may look like a simple Didi driver, but in reality, I'm an underworld boss. I have countless minions at my command, and with a single gesture, they will appear and show you what's what."
"Hahaha!" The two young men burst into uncontrollable laughter.
The redhead ran a hand through his bangs and said, "That's the fakest act I've ever seen. How can a Didi driver like you be some kind of underworld boss? Come on, I'll give you ten seconds. Call your minions. If you can get even one to show up, I'll take your last name!"
"I won't need ten seconds." Su Xuan reached his hand out the window and gave a little wave.
"Are you freaking kidding us?!" The two men felt like they were being mocked.
Is this how you summon your minions? Isn't this a bit childish?
They were about to slash Su Xuan's clothes to scare him, but in the next second, the unexpected happened.
"Get out!"
Three figures with menacing auras suddenly appeared outside. They yanked the car doors open and dragged the two young men out. Before the pair could even get a clear look at their faces, they were hoisted off their feet and hauled away.
"Remember to have them leave me a good review!" Su Xuan shouted after the three figures, rubbing his chin before driving away.
In a quiet corner, Du Zilong eyed the two young men and asked Zhao Wei and Zhao Ling, "Was it them?"
Zhao Wei and Zhao Ling looked them over and shook their heads. "No. We got the wrong ones."
"Damn it!" Du Zilong swore, pressing his hand on the redhead's head. He was about to exert force when Zhao Ling intervened, "Let them leave a good review for Brother Su first."
"What's going on here?" The redhead, completely bewildered, looked at the three of them. "Are you guys really that Didi driver's—"
SMACK!
Du Zilong hit the red-haired man with a backhand slap. "Leave a good review!"
The man's mouth was knocked crooked. Daring not to say another word, he pulled out his phone and left a positive review for Su Xuan.
Du Zilong placed his hand back on the man's head and applied force.
CRACK!
A strange sound escaped the man's throat as his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground. Du Zilong then employed the same tactic to dispatch the other young man.
Then, right in front of Zhao Wei and Zhao Ling, Du Zilong stripped the two men of all their possessions, leaving the Zhao duo utterly dumbfounded.
"I… I learned it from Sir Su!" Du Zilong explained awkwardly.
Last night, he had seen Su Xuan search Cai Ruifeng. He originally thought Su Xuan had only taken Cai Ruifeng's throwing knives, but it wasn't until they took Cai Ruifeng to a clinic for his injuries that he learned Su Xuan had also taken all his money.
This gave him a strange impression. It was as if Su Xuan had made his fortune this way!
Afterward, they had hurried out to look for Su Xuan, only to find he had vanished.
In truth, Su Xuan hadn't gone far. He had just stopped his car at the next intersection and was now staring blankly ahead.
A girl in a red dress was pushing a bicycle, standing motionless in the middle of the intersection.
The girl in the red dress suddenly turned her head toward Su Xuan. Her face was covered in blood, the skin peeled back on one side to reveal her molars in a disturbingly graphic way.
"A new character, huh!" Su Xuan tugged at the corner of his mouth, his eyes reddening further.
And in his passenger seat, the woman in red had also appeared silently. She narrowed her long, autumnal eyes, looking toward the girl in the red dress.
